Joint Venture Business of the Year

RTS Referral Tracking Systems is a land referral data management software designed to create a joint forestry-land technology solutions for First Nation communities. A partnership between DR Systems, a 20-year old software development company, along with the Neskonlith Band and the Adams Lake Band has established this venture. RTS is installed and operational at 12 sites throughout BC with others in the planning phase. The software product, designed by First Nations for First Nations, is a viable solution to the hundreds of land referrals being received at band offices. The partnership has proven to be an outstanding opportunity that is paying dividends, not just in making referral management easier but in creating new opportunities for Aboriginal communities throughout the province.
